Hello to all fellow animal lovers. I just found this site today, when I was looking for some cat and dog treat recipes. So far I like what I see, lots of excellent information, and plenty of animal lovers.

I have 7 cats and a dog, that number changes depending on which neighborhood strays come to visit for a while, or come to stay. I try to find good homes for some, but a lot of them capture my heart, and so they become members of the family.

Our dog is quite old for a lab/retriever cross, she is just over 13 1/2 years old now, and is much slower to get around than she used to be....but she is the love of my life, and I enjoy every extra minute with her that I can. She was not supposed to still be alive, but is, and for that I am extremely grateful. She loves the cats, and thinks that she is part cat!

As for the cats, they tolerate her, and one of them, Appollo, loves her like a second mother; she sleeps with her, eats her treats, grooms her, and follows her everywhere, and she has done this ever since she was a tiny kitten.

I hope to meet new friends here, and stay informed about feeding and general health issues for my furry children.

Welcome and we need pictures of your furry family. Thanks for having such a big heart helping all those strays. They sure know what to do to make us keep them. I have a name of a doggy treat book with all-natural recipes! "THREE DOG BAKERY" cookbook, by Dan Dye and Mark Beckloff, it is very good.
